Description du projet
Un nouveau système optique pour aider les robots à «voir»
L’avenir des robots collaboratifs, des voitures autonomes et de la réalité augmentée (RA) repose sur la précision des capteurs tridimensionnels. Ces capteurs permettent de détecter en temps réel des messages de situation et d’environnement. C’est là que la magie opère. Le projet Smarter Vision Micro, financé par l’UE, développe actuellement un système optique 3D miniaturisé en temps réel qui permet aux machines de «voir» et d’interagir en toute sécurité avec l’environnement. L’objectif est de développer des applications permettant de rendre les voitures et les robots plus autonomes, plus intelligents et plus sûrs, afin d’améliorer l’expérience de l’utilisateur. Le projet travaillera avec des intégrateurs de systèmes et des spécialistes en logiciels. Sa clientèle inclut des fabricants de robots, de voitures et d’électronique grand public (à savoir Yaskawa, Porsche et Huawei). En ce qui concerne la commercialisation, le projet adoptera une stratégie de vente B2B.
Objectif
"3D sensing is transforming entire industries, enhancing machines ability to ""see"" and enable new innovative product such as collaborative robots, self-driving cars, or Augmented Reality mobile devices. However, current 3D sensors lack adequate accuracy and require substantial computer power for safely taking decisions in real-time.
To answer to this unmet need, at Ladimo we have focused our expertise in mathematical modeling and software to design Smarter Vision Micro: A real-time miniaturized 3D optical system, with an unrivaled accuracy that enable machines to ""see"" and safely interact with the environment. Smarter Vision Micro will have a considerable impact on the robotics, automotive, consumer electronics sectors by helping manufacturers to create a wide spectrum of commercial applications, ranging from more autonomous, intelligent, and safer cars and robots, to facial and gesture recognition for safer and securer drivingexperience as well as consumer electronics controllers with new AR/VR capabilities.
Our primary customer base will be robot, car, consumer electronics manufacturers where we have already risen traction (e.g. Porsche, Huawei, Yaskawa), as well as system integrators and software specialists who will include our system into their offerings (robotics, facial recognition, augmented/virtual reality and autonomous driving systems). We will adopt a B2B sales strategy for the commercialization of our product, and also plan to diversify into License model for its implementation into different platforms.
SmarterVision will have an impact by enabling new robotic, automotive, and AR/VR applications. We expect to obtain cumulative gross profit of €39 million with a ROI of 20.57 during the first 5 post-Phase 2 years, while creating 80 new jobs. We also expect to have an impact on Europe reputation of technological leadership since blue-chip international companies from competitor countries are interested in our technology."
